I got to Firestone at about 10AM. I was the only person there. Wind was very calm and the temp was comfortable. I had already done a preflight so I was able to do a quick check, fuel up, range check and start the motor. I had to idle a little before she wanted to run/idle. Once she warmed up it was fine. I did close the idle 1/8 of a turn and mid one click.

18 minutes of Tail in T pattern. About 10 minutes in the gang showed up .

About the time I was ready to land...

Beware the Ides of march - or leftovers

Posted 04-12-2012 at 12:38 PM by Jermo

Went to Firestone and the group had decided to fly friday instead of today due to the wind being pretty gusty. It was 42 degrees... BRRRRRrrrr... came home and went over the Pantera. Recorded my normal pitch curves then set it to a flat 50% to check headspeed at 50% stick. I'm at 1620 ~ 1650 so I'm not overspeeding. I forgot the check what stick position I get up to 1850 headspeed (max suggested by Audacity). I'm not running a Gov so I'll probably need to find this spot in the future before I start...

Yesterday I picked up two new Gravity 6 cell 3300mAh LiPo packs that were sent to me from Canada… Now I will see how the 6HV fly’s with a fresh pack. I might venture out tonight if the blasted winds calm down some...
Last night I finally managed to get and try the new Gravity packs that I bought! The first several flights were only 3:30 minutes long, the "break-in" period. While I was waiting on the new packs, I flew my Protos 500. I went through 3 packs on the Protos and...
